Notes & Reviews:

Jean Fournet and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra of the Netherlands give idiomatic performances of two cornerstones of the French Orchestral repertoire. They are coupled with three works by Arthur Honegger. Critically acclaimed performances.

"The orchestra and the engineering are superb: warm sound, but very French- that is, clear, sweet, smooth, and balanced...So here is a great piece of music, rarely played or recorded, in a beautiful recording that cannot be beat, and it is joined with another great performance- the Faure...After 20 years this still sounds like a great recording, and we can still recommend it enthusiastically."-American Record Guide
